I've been asked to help choose a template for the next seasonal ladder. Fizzer wants to ensure that the community's opinion is considered.

I've formed a template panel. After some discussion, we have decided to do this in three phases.Phase 1 - The community can nominate templates for the seasonal. Phase 2 - The template panel will prune the submissions down to a small number.Phase 3 - Anyone who has completed all 20 games in any one of the last 6 seasonals(Season XXVI onwards) will be allowed to vote(no alts). We will resolve votes using the Dowdall system- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borda_count#Dowdall_system_(Nauru)

This is our chance to pick a great template for Season XXXII. I hope everyone participates in this process and we can have a good season! Please nominate templates on this thread by providing a link to a finished game with the exact settings.Phase 1The community has nominated these templates :

As mentioned earlier, we will be using the Dowdall system to resolve votes. Anyone who has completed all 20 games in any one of the last six seasonals(Season XXVI onwards) is eligible to vote. Please order all the templates as per your preference(1 is most preferred, 5 is least). Also include a valid ladder team link. These votes can be submitted on this thread.Example

I greatly value the novelty of seasonal ladder templates, or at least the two that I have played, and am sad that all five options are ones I've played on QM/AWP. Hopefully, next season novelty will be made a hard criterion and established templates will be automatically disqualified. Anyway:
